Santa Maria Paddington

Napoli dough style pizza went with the classic margarita it was was of good quality and I enjoyed it. Also, tried the Aubergine Parmigiana and it was tasty. Excellent service and the food came out very quickly. Only minor note I thought the food was not warm enough. I like it when the pizza is hot sizzling, which was not the case.

Authentic Neapolitan Pizza & Fantastic Service I had an excellent experience at Santa Maria Pizzeria Napoletana. The food is truly authentic — perfectly baked Neapolitan pizzas with fresh ingredients and rich flavors. Great value for the quality you get. A special mention to our waitress, Salima, who was outstanding. She was attentive, polite, and made sure everything was just right throughout the meal. Her warm and professional service really added to the experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for genuine Italian pizza and welcoming service.

The high ratings at Santa Maria did not disappoint, the pizzas were incredible and we can’t wait to go back and try other toppings. One of the closes pizzas experiences to what you would get in Florence here in London. Reasonably priced, friendly and quick service plus dog friendly! Chips were meh so stick to the pizzas!

Incredibly good pizzeria The pizzas here are perfect, I especially recommend the margarita. The staff are super friendly and serve your food quite quickly. The atmosphere of the place has its charm, with a very urban and beautiful setting, with signs of popular culture.

We had an amazing experience at Santa Maria Pizza in Paddington, and a big part of that was thanks to GUR, who served us. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish, which made our visit truly enjoyable. GUR provided excellent service, made us feel comfortable, and ensured everything was perfect throughout our time there. Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and added to the overall great atmosphere of the restaurant. Thank you, GUR, for making our visit so memorable. We had an amazing time and will definitely be coming back!

Santa Maria Paddington ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice local spot! I’ve stayed at the EasyHotel multiple times—it’s my go-to whenever I’m in London—but this was the first time Santa Maria was open, and it did not disappoint. The margherita special was great—simple, to the point, and packed a punch. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!

Having only just arrived in London today, my mum and I went for a walk around the block from our hotel to find something for dinner. Not sure what we felt like, and not overly hungry - we are so glad we happened upon Santa Maria! We shared a Pizza - which was delicious, service was excellent (thank you Gabby!) and we have already decided to eat here again on one of our other 3 days in London.

A slice of Naples in the heart of London! Visited Santa Maria Paddington with my son and had such a fantastic experience that I just had to share it. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm service and a cosy, buzzing atmosphere that immediately transported us to a little corner of Naples. We started with the Garlic Focaccia – simple yet sensational. The flat oven-baked pizza dough was soft and pillowy inside, with a perfectly crisp exterior, seasoned beautifully with oregano and drizzled generously with extra virgin olive oil. A great opener that set the tone for the meal. For our mains, we both went for the Santa Margherita Classic, a true celebration of traditional Neapolitan pizza-making. The base was light and airy with that signature char from the wood-fired oven, and topped with silky Mozzarella Fiordilatte, rich tomato sauce, and a sprinkle of Parmesan, simplicity done right. I gave mine a personal twist by adding tuna and olives, which brought in a lovely briny depth that complemented the creamy cheese and sweet tomatoes beautifully. To finish, my son delighted in his vanilla ice cream, creamy and smooth, the perfect palate cleanser. But the real showstopper for me was the Pan di Stelle dessert. Wow, what a treat! A luscious mascarpone and Nutella chocolate mousse topped with classic Pan di Stelle Italian biscuits. It was indulgent, dreamy, and absolutely divine, the perfect end to a wonderful meal. Service was excellent throughout, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The staff clearly care about the food and the customer experience. The venue itself is warm and inviting, great for families or casual dining with friends. Santa Maria truly lives up to its reputation as serving some of London’s best Neapolitan pizzas. What you get here is the real deal, the same pizza you’d find on the streets of Naples, made with authentic ingredients and cooked using traditional methods. With locations across London – Paddington, Kew, Islington, Fulham, Ealing, and Fitzrovia. It's well worth a visit, no matter where you are. I’ll definitely be back, and next time I’m bringing the whole family!
